An evidence-based CPE activity that will enable you to apply ketogenic diet therapies (KDTs) for patients with medication-resistant epilepsy and other neurologic and metabolic based conditions. More specifically you will discover how to:
- Formulate a KDT plan including initiation, monitoring, and follow-up care.
- Assess conditions for which KDTs are contraindicated.
- Implement the ratio system of the classic ketogenic diet to determine its macronutrient composition.
- Determine appropriate vitamin and mineral supplementation for KDTs.
- Explain potential adverse effects of KDTs and how to prevent them.
